Proper Oil Level

Maintain the oil level within the sight gauge located on the reservoir. When oil is cold, the level should be three-quarters up the sight gauge. Never fill the tank above that sight gauge level. A space is maintained above the sight gauge to allow for the expansion of the oil. Oil is added through the filler tube, if your tank does not have a filler tube then fill through the return filter located on the tank. Thoroughly clean the cap area around the filter to prevent oil from contamination. Remove the cap and add the proper viscosity grade of FILTERED oil to achieve the proper level. Never assume any oil is clean, including new.

Sight Gauge

Oil Level Low

Low oil level in the reservoir is caused by leakage or improper filling. If leaking, locate the area of the leak and repair the leak at once. Loss of fluid can cause severe & catastrophic damage to the hydraulic components.

NOTE: After initial start up, the mower may require more oil to bring the oil level back to the proper level. This is normal. Air trapped in the hydraulic components was displaced by the oil, causing the oil level to go down in the tank. Oil must be added to reach the proper level or cavitation could result.
